A single library visit can turn into ten, and ten into a habit. How do you help your students fall in love with the #library? 📚
I got a library card in September (because social media told me to) Deleted social media because my nervous system needed a reset. Redownloaded social media to tell you we’ve been to the library 10 times now! I know people by name, I am signed up to teach two classes, my 8 year old went from reading 50 min a week to over and hour and a half. All this to say, go to the library. Anything could happen there.

Unexpected issue - book repair students started reading the books they were repainting. 😂 A good problem, but a problem that had to be learned from & adjusted for.

Thousands of backlogged damaged books returned to circulation b/c of this program! How many $ saved? Plus skills gained!

So excited to hear @simplyrain.bsky.social at #AASL25!

Brilliant idea - book repairs as a way to grow the school library community!

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

“Having a librarian in a library is good.”

THANK YOU, Abbott Elementary. Thank you, also, for the seemingly simple scene of how beloved it is to hear a book be read aloud 💚
